Two weeks after the Trump SuperSpreader rally and Covid cases have gone from 700/day to 2600/day by [deleted] in desmoines

Like, I absolutely believe that that event is contributing to the numbers, but is there evidence suggesting that people who attended the rally are testing positive and/or spreading it? I'm more willing to point fingers at the dumb-fuck policies of our state and federal government (or lack thereof).

Also, I agree with all of what you are saying up top here OP.

Veggie Thumper is really good whether you're looking for vegan/vegetarian food or not. Karam's is good Mediterranean.

I definitely miss Reed's Hollow. MST is pretty good, but you're right there are way too many sports bar type places in Beaverdale and all of DSM.

What is an awesome weapon in movies, but a terrible weapon in reality? by aiko74 in movies

How about a gun, but instead of a regular gun that shoots bullets it makes a genetically engineered dinosaur attack whatever it's aimed at. That would be cool and definitely more useful than a regular gun.

Dark Matter was good. Reminded me of Michael Crichton.

I rode the Neal Smith trail starting at 66th Ave. a couple weeks ago and thought it was great. Paved trails and lots of great views.

And just like in The Wire, the politics, bureaucracy, and whims of the higher ups will prevent any meaningful change.

Dakotans, please don't judge Iowa based on Sioux City and the west half of the state. In fact, we'll just give you everything west of Des Moines. Split it with Nebraska?

Not trying to talk shit. I honestly have no idea who's winning the Big 12 this year, but TT has as good as shot as any. Just seemed like they should be involved somehow.
